The inaugural British Museum Ball was a star-studded occasion, and the Spencer sisters were undeniably among the best-dressed. The event held at the British Museum on Great Russell Street in London saw 800 guests each pay £2,000 to party alongside some of the world's most interesting artefacts to shine a spotlight on London as a global centre of creativity and culture and raise funds to support the British Museum's international partnerships. Shining brightly were the late Princess Diana's nieces, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, who wowed in pink ball gowns.
Prince William's cousin Lady Amelia, 33, looked sensational in an asymmetrical hot pink gown covered in a red rose design. It featured one puffed sleeve and a dramatic bow tied around the waist. She went for a more-is-more aesthetic, adding a statement diamond and ruby necklace and matching drop earrings. She also accessorised with a pink cuff bracelet and carried a white croc print clutch.

An expert weighs in

The vivid red rose print and oversized pink bow create a dramatic, couture-inspired silhouette that feels both romantic and daring," Oriona Robb, a fashion stylist with over 20 years of experience, says. "The one-shoulder design and large draping add sculptural movement, making it a true statement piece. In contrast, Lady Eliza's blush sequined gown embodies sleek sophistication; its clean lines, high neckline, and subtle sparkle highlight her natural elegance. Together, the two looks perfectly balance opulence and simplicity, one bold and theatrical, the other refined and timeless."

While Amelia chose a silver sparkly number, Eliza went for a sheer black gown with an embroidered mesh skirt.
